I told myself I would go to yoga today and I went. Addy was calm the first 20 minutes and then I stepped out. A lady I know a little offered to walk Addy around the track so I could finish yoga. She's a mom too and she certainly could of benefited from yoga, but she insisted I finish and she would watch Addy. Such a selfless act. She barely knows me, yet she gave up her yoga for me.
I thanked her over and over. The more people do for me, the more I want to pay it forward.
This is not the first time someone at the gym has approached me to help with Addy. One other time a lady I did not know approached me while I was walking the track with Addy crying. She asked if she could run the track with Addy and told me to go have time with myself. I took her up on her offer, a little nervous about handing my baby off to a total stranger, but I did it. And this total stranger was a saint. She got Addy to sleep. All was great after that.
There really are good people out there. For so long I had lost faith in humanity.
Our SUV was stolen in 2011 after we paid it off, 8,000. My Buick was crashed in and it was a hit n run back in 2007 and again in 2013 and after those incidents I didn't really recover. I know there are worst things.
On a lighter note, this is what I found tonight. It made me feel so warm and fuzzy.
Bedtime stories and Addy on floor. Love it.
I can't help but smile when I see these pillows and my precious plant I have had for two years now that is growing ever so slow, but is still alive. Wonder what she will look like next year.
